Abstract
A computer-generated user interface for setting up source-target pairs of storage resources, and representing the status of copying activities of the pairs, in a disk storage server or other storage device. The interface () identifies each storage resource, such as volumes, in the storage device (), and one or more storage resources in the same or a different storage device () for which a copy relationship has been established. One or more status icons are displayed to provide information related to the copy relationship, such as whether copying is in progress, the type of copying, copying progree and the like. A task wizard interface () enables a user to designate desired copy relationships between storage resources. The user may select indicia associated with the resources to set up the copy relationships.
